Advice needed

Hi everyone, me and my partner will be moving into our new home in the next month or two and she's said I can have one of the spare rooms for a sim rig as its something she knows i've always wanted. I'd appreciate some suggestions and advice because i'm unsure on what is compatible on linux.

  • I'm also from the UK so that's important when it comes to making purchases.
  • I will use my LG 39" 5K2K monitor on the rig in a 1 monitor setup.
  • PC only
  • I will be using mainly f1 style cars with some some GT racing as well.
  • I'll probably buy a sparco or cobra bucket seat on eBay but wasnt sure if i need to buy anything additional to connect it up to the rig
  • For rigs. I like the look rigs that look like the Trakracer TR8 Pro. I've also seen plenty of recommendations for the Simlab GT1 Pro. What are your thoughts?
  • I'm unsure about what wheel bundle to get eg. moza, fanatec, simagic - what works best on linux?
  • What places online are best to get these bits from? Im happy to wait for black friday deals and keep looking for good deals on eBay
